    Rock Music

    Survey rock music and it’s evolution from the 1920’s through current times. We will examine the origins and advancements of rock music by studying the pertinent social, political, cultural, racial, gender, and class issues that pertain to rock music’s history. We will also examine the development of the music business and technology that shaped and distributed it. You will develop listening skills by studying song examples covered in the textbook and in class. We will begin with an introduction to what the study of rock music entails and then focus on listening skills and musical terms to develop a vocabulary with which to discuss and experience selected song examples. The study of music, especially for the newly initiated may be more difficult than you expect. You will be more successful if you approach it in the same way as you would a foreign language – immerse yourself by listening to the song examples repeatedly. Ask questions if you do not fully understand something. The same applies to listening skills - if you are not hearing the musical characteristics discussed during the lectures and in your readings, please ask for help!…
